Definitions
- the present invention relates to planar inductive devices and in particular to methods of constructing planar inductive devices and attaching them to printed circuit boards.
- planar transformers, planar inductors, and other planar inductive devices are inductive devices in which conductors forming the windings of the inductive devices, in the form of spirals, are formed on or in thin flat insulating substrates.
- the conductors are formed using various processes known to the art but most often by etching the desired conducting pattern on a thin insulating substrate board, such as a printed circuit board, using the techniques and materials commonly employed in the production of such boards.
- a planar inductive device can be constructed using only a single substrate board with appropriate conductor patterns. Generally, however, a multiplicity of substrate boards are stacked together to form a thin substrate stack with winding conductors on the boards appropriately interconnected to complete the windings of the planar inductive device.
- the boards are formed with matching apertures which are aligned when the boards are stacked together. The apertures allow for the insertion of a magnetic, preferably ferrite, cores into the windings to provide a magnetic circuit for the planar inductive device.
- the planar inductive device is mounted on a printed circuit board with the plane of the substrate stack parallel to the plane of the circuit board.
- Fig. 1 shows a conventional planar transformer 20 mounted on a printed circuit board
- Transformer 20 includes a stack 22 of substrate boards on which the transformer windings (not shown) are formed.
- the substrate boards are parallel to the plane of printed circuit board 200.
- the thickness of the core displaces the stack from the circuit board and extension leads 30 are provided to electrically connect the transformer windings to circuit board 200.
- JP 8273946 describes a planar transformer with extension leads for mounting the planar transformer with its substrate stack parallel to a printed circuit board. Extension leads are connected at one of their ends to contact points connected to the windings. The other ends of the leads are either designed for insertion mounting into holes in the printed circuit board or have small flat pads for surface mounting.
- JP 08273944 describes a planar transformer with multiple extension leads for mounting on printed circuit boards.
- PCT publication WO96/21935 describes a planar transformer having a single pair of core elements sandwiching a substrate stack comprising primary and secondary windings.
- the transformer is mounted on a printed circuit board with the substrate stack parallel to the board.
- wire extension leads having a length on the order of half the core thickness.
- a publication entitled "Planar Magnetics” published by Philips Electronics N.V. in June 1994 describes the construction of planar inductive devices.
- a multiplicity of substrate boards, on which conductive windings are placed, are stacked together to form the coils of a planar inductive device.
- Contact points are placed at the edges of the boards for attaching extension leads to the coils.
- the substrate stack is sandwiched between the two matching elements of a ferrite core.
- a planar inductive device designed as an integral part of a printed circuit board is also demonstrated in the publication.
- the windings of the planar inductive device are printed on the circuit board for which the planar inductive device is intended along with other components of the circuit.
- the two elements of a ferrite core are inserted into apertures in the circuit board to form the planar inductive device.
- planar inductive devices have been stimulated by the consistent trends in the electronics industry to miniaturization and encapsulation. To the extent allowed by technology and economics, electronic components are miniaturized and densely packaged into standardized self contained printed circuit boards.
- planar inductive devices are constructed to be mounted with the planes of their coil windings parallel to the printed circuit boards. This mounting disposition maximizes the area that the planar inductive devices occupy on the circuit boards. It would be desirable to provide alternative mounting dispositions to minimize the footprint of a given planar inductive device.
- planar inductive device When a conventional planar inductive device is mounted on a printed circuit board, the thickness of the magnetic core displaces the plane of the substrate stack from the plane of the circuit board. No part of the windings is in direct contact with the circuit board. As a result extension leads must be used to make electrical contact between the planar inductive device and the circuit board. This complicates both the manufacture of planar inductive devices and their insertion into printed circuit boards. It would be desirable to have mounting methods that do not require extension leads. Without supplementary spacing structures, conventional planar inductive devices have large parts of their surface area in direct contact with, or only slightly elevated from the surface of the printed circuit board. These parts of the surface area have restricted air flow and therefore diminished heat dissipation which must often be specially compensated for. It would be desirable to incorporate, in the design and structure of planar inductive devices, intrinsic attributes that reduce the need to provide special structures to augment heat dissipation.
- planar inductive devices Another characteristic of conventional planar inductive devices is that for a given planar inductive device the electrical parameters are not adjustable. It would be desirable to have planar inductive devices that are tunable.
- a planar inductive device is mounted with the plane of the windings of the planar inductive device non-parallel to the printed circuit board. As the angle between the plane of the windings of the planar inductive device and the plane of the printed circuit board approaches 90 degrees the footprint of the planar inductive decreases. This reduces the space required on the board for the planar inductive device.
- the angle between the plane of the windings of the planar inductive device and the plane of the circuit board is 90 degrees.
- this mounting disposition is maintained by fixing an edge of the core, that is perpendicular to the plane of the windings, to the circuit board.
- the edge of the core that is fixed to the circuit board is flush with an edge of the substrate stack.
- the core and the substrate stack are not rigidly fixed to each other but allow for a degree of relative movement between the two flush edges.
- the degree of movement is enough to allow the edge of the substrate stack to be butted flush to the circuit board after the edge of the core is fixed in place.
- this edge has contact points with reflowable solder for forming electrical contact between the circuit board and the coil windings.
- planar inductive device To the extent that a portion of the surface area of the planar inductive device is displaced from the circuit board, airflow adjacent to it, whether by natural or forced convection, is improved.
- the improved air flow significantly improves heat dissipation.
- a non-parallel mounting disposition for planar inductive devices is provided, as described above. As the mounting angle between the plane of the windings of the planar inductive device and the plane of the printed circuit board increases to 90 degrees, more of the surface of the planar inductive devices is exposed to improved airflow. It is an object of another aspect of the present invention to provide for electrical contact between the circuit board and the coils of the planar inductive device without the use of extension leads. This simplifies the production of planar inductive devices.
- contact points which are connected to extensions of the ends of the windings are provided at the edges of the substrate boards e.g. metalized areas on the edge of the board which are electrically connected to the extensions.
- the contact points are provided with reflowable material such as solder.
- the core and substrate boards are assembled so that the edge or edges with the contact points may be butted flush up against matching contact points on one or more printed boards, with a surface of the core attached to the printed circuit board. Permanent electrical connection between the contact points of the substrate boards and the printed circuit boards are formed by processes known to the art, such as by using conductive glue or reflow solder techniques.
- the structures and method for forming electrical contact between the substrate boards and a printed circuit board as described above are advantageous and applicable to the connection of a first printed circuit board having electronic components mounted on its surface, that may or may not include planar inductive devices, to a second printed circuit board.
- the electronic components are connected to metalized areas on the first printed circuit board for the purpose of electrical and mechanical contact.
- the metalized areas have extensions to edges of the first circuit board which are metalized at which they have contact points provided with reflowable material such as solder.
- the edge of the first printed circuit board having the contact points is butted to the surface of the second printed circuit board so that the contact points on the edge of the first circuit board are in physical contact with suitably placed matching contact points on the surface of the second printed circuit board.
- Permanent electrical contact between the contact point on the edge of the first circuit board and the surface of the second surface board are then made by processes known in the art such as by using conductive glue or solder reflow techniques.
- Mounting a first circuit board to a second circuit board as described above is generally most useful for first circuit boards which are relatively small and light in order for the first circuit board to be fixed mechanically stable to the second circuit board.
- mechanical stability is enhanced if the first circuit board has a thickness on the order of or greater than 1-2 mm. It is appreciated that other means for increasing the stability of first circuit boards which are mounted to second circuit boards as described are advantageous and can readily be provided.
- the magnetic cores of planar inductive devices are constructed from a plurality of standardized core modules.
- the core modules consist of a pair of suitably matched opposing elements.
- the core modules are combinable to form cores of different sizes and shapes in order to match the dimensions of different substrate stacks.

- Fig. 2 shows a planar transformer in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention mounted on a printed circuit
- Fig. 3 shows a planar transformer, having a "T" cross-section, in accordance with a prefe ⁇ ed embodiment of the present invention, where the transformer is inserted into an aperture of a printed circuit board;
- Fig. 4 shows an exploded view of the construction of a planar transformer in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 shows a planar transformer 32, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, mounted on a printed circuit board 202. It comprises a stack 34 of substrate boards on which the transformer windings (not shown) are located. Stack 34 is sandwiched between two opposable elements 38 and 40 of a magnetic core 36, preferably a ferrite core. One of the edges of stack 30 and an edge of core 36 are in direct flush contact with printed circuit board 202. The edge surface of the core is preferably glued to the printed circuit board for mechanical stability. The planes of the transformer windings are in a vertical mounting, disposed at 90 degrees to the plane of the circuit board.
- core 36 and stack 34 are such that, when they are assembled together, an edge of the stack is flush with an edge of the core.
- core 36 and stack 34 are preferably not fixed rigidly one to the other. They are preferably constructed such that a certain degree of relative movement of the flush edges with respect to each other is possible.

- the edge surface of the stack which is in flush contact with the circuit board, has a plurality of contact points for input and output to the transformer. Two of them, 42 and 44, are shown and are indicative of the construction of the others. Contact points 42 and 44 are connected to lead elements 46 and 48 respectively of the windings. Preferably lead elements 46 and 48 are continuous integral parts of the windings (not shown)and are formed during the process of forming the coils. Preferably contact points 42 and 44 are provided with reflowable material for making permanent electrical contact with the circuit board. Alternatively, contact may be made using a conductive epoxy or other conductive glue.
- planar transformer 32 reduces the footprint of the transformer in comparison to other mounting dispositions.
- the vertical mounting disposition also improves heat dissipation from transformer 32 by improving air flow over its surface.
- the vertical mounting disposition increases the proportion of the surface area of the transformer that is displaced from the circuit board. This displacement aids in preventing the build up of insulating stagnant air pockets adjacent to the surfaces. This improvement is effected without the need for adding special structures to either the circuit board or to the transformer core or substrate stack.
- non-parallel mountings of transformer 32 at dispositions other than 90 degrees are possible and advantageous.
- the faces of ferrite core 36 in Fig. 2 are perpendicular to each other.
- Core 36 can, however, be formed so that the edge surface of core 36 which is glued to printed circuit board 202 is not perpendicular to the surfaces of core 36 which are adjacent to it. This will result in core 36 being tilted out of the vertical when it is glued to printed circuit board 202.
- the edge of stack 34 that is in contact with circuit board 202 is formed so that it is parallel and flush with the edge of the core that is glued to circuit board 202, in order to accommodate the tilt of core 36 out of the vertical. It is appreciated that still other constructions of core 36 and stack 34 are possible and will achieve non-parallel mountings of transformer 32 at other than 90 degrees.
- Fig. 3 shows planar transformer 48, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, mounted on a printed circuit board 204.
- Planar transformer 48 is mounted in an aperture socket in the form of a clearance hole 50 formed in circuit board 204.
- Stack 52 is made of a plurality of substrate boards 54-60.
- Substrate boards 54-60 and consequently the Substrate stack 52 are T shaped.
- Opposable elements 66 and 68 of a ferrite core 64 sandwich substrate stack 52 between them.
- the top edge of core 64 is flush with the top edge of the T of stack 52.
- the bottom edge of core 64 is flush with the bottom edge of the stem of the T of stack 52.
- Aperture socket 50 has dimensions large enough to receive the stem of the T of stack 52 and the part of core 64 which sandwiches it.
- the top of the T is too wide to pass through the socket since it is formed with two extensions, 70 and 72, which protrude from either side of the stem of the T.
- the planar transformer is inserted up to the bottom edges of the extensions 70 and 72.
- the bottom edges of extensions 70 and 72 are provided with a multiplicity of input and output contact points to the transformer windings. Two of these, 74 and 76, are shown in the figure.
- the contact points are connected to the lead elements (not shown) of the windings (not shown) in the same manner as the contact points of transformer 32 of Fig. 2.
- Transformer core 64 is preferably fixed in place by gluing it to the edge of the socket aperture 50.
- planar transformer 48 of Fig. 3 is mounted in a vertical disposition. It leaves a small footprint on the circuit board and improves the air flow to the transformer's surface.
- the mounting method shown in Fig. 3 additionally permits adjustment of the amount by which the transformer protrudes from either side of the circuit board.
- Stack 52 is generally very thin. When transformer 48 is inserted into socket aperture 50 of printed circuit board 204 the transformer can be rotated out of the vertical about the axis which is the line of contact between the thin edge of stack 52 and printed circuit board 204. Core 64 can then be fixed in place by gluing to socket aperture 50. If stack 52 is thick the angle between the faces of stack 52 and the edge surfaces of stack 52 that are in contact with circuit board 204 can be constructed to be different from 90 degrees. This permits non-parallel mountings of transformer 48 at other than 90 degrees. It is appreciated that still other constructions of transformer 48 that permit non parallel mountings are possible and advantageous.
- sockets of form and construction different from socket aperture 50 are possible and advantageous.
- the edges of socket aperture 50 could be provided with a covering of resilient material so that when core 64 is inserted into aperture 50 the resilient material presses onto the surface of core 64 holding core 64 resiliently in place. This would obviate the need of securing the core in place by gluing. It is appreciated that still other sockets constructions are possible and advantageous.
- Fig. 4 is an exploded illustration showing the structure of a planar transformer 80 produced in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Planar transformer 80 has a magnetic core 82 which is composed of a plurality of ferrite core modules. Each module is composed of a pair of matching elements. The module pair elements are labeled: 84 and 94, 86 and 96, 88 and 98, 90 and 100.
- the transformer further comprises a plurality of insulating substrate boards 102, 104, 108, and 110.
- Insulating substrate boards 102, 104, 108, 110 have respective conductive spiral windings 118 to 124 on their surfaces. Boards 102 and 104 are stacked together with windings 118 and 120 connected at vias 126 and 128 using materials and procedures known in the art. The joined windings become one coil of the transformer. Input and output connections to the coil are made at a pair of contact points 130 and 132 at the ends of a pair of lead extensions 134 and 136. The method for making the connections is illustrated in Fig. 2 and described in the discussion of that Fig. Boards 108 and 110 are assembled together in the same way to form the second coil of the transformer. The two coils are sandwiched and adhered together to form the substrate stack of the transformer.
- the adjacent stacks are formed with coil portions of primary and scondary transformer windings.
- odd stacks would be interconnected to form one winding and even windings would be interconnected to form the other winding.
- similar adjacent or staggered interconnections may be used.
- each of the substrate boards are preferably substantially identical and each of the boards has a substantially identical set of clearance apertures and two edge cutouts which are indicated, for board 104, as 112, 114 and 116 respectively.
- the two elements of each ferrite core module 84 and 94 through 90 and 100 are inserted into aperture 112 and edge cutouts 114 and 116 of the stack from opposing sides to a depth at which they contact. While in contact, the two elements of each core module pair 84 and 94 through 90 and 100 are adhered together using appropriate adhesives.

- the fit between core 82 and the stack is preferably not tight.
- Dimension 138 of the core modules and dimension 140 of the substrate boards are preferably equal.
- the modular construction of core 82 of Fig. 4 illustrates a method of adapting the size of core 82 to different aperture and edge cutout dimensions by the addition or removal of standard core modules. It is appreciated that core module shapes and dimensions other than those shown in Fig. 4 for core module pairs 84 and 94 through 90 and 100 are possible and advantageous. Different module shapes expand the applicability of the modular core design to a greater variety of core geometries.
- FIG. 4 stack aperture 112 and edge cutouts 114 and 116 accommodate up to a maximum of four ferrite core module pairs. By inserting more or fewer modules, the electrical characteristics of the transformer can be tuned. Also, modules can be added to or removed from the transformers after the transformer is mounted.
